There's a pretty big difference. The iPhone came out and was a success the first year and just grew from there.
The Oculus has been out since ~2016 or so. I don't think it's a rocketship ready to take off with the right hardware or software. I'm sure there's profit to be made, better days to come, etc., but it's not going to be a smartphone.
- cableshaft 4y agoThe Oculus Quest 2 released at the same time as Xbox Series S/X and PS5. It's sold 15 million units, while the Xbox has sold 20 million and the PS5 has sold 30 million. While it's less than those two, it's still a very respectable number and incredibly high considering it doesn't have any of the major studios releasing their AAA games on it.
- peab 4y agoHow accurate are these numbers? That's actually more than I expected - respectable and incredibly high, I agree
- cableshaft 4y agoIt seems to be based mostly on an analyst company's announcement back in June of 2022, and doesn't look like Meta has released actual numbers. But there's corroborating data that suggests those numbers could be fairly accurate, such as Qualcomm saying way back in November 2021 that they shipped 10 million units of the chips that power the Quest 2[2]. And also seems to be the only number that's being reported anywhere.
